LOL: ) I downloaded http://mwr.ddts.net/a/mwr/zope_2.3.1-1_i386.deb then tried to install it. ~# dpkg -i /home/someuser/zope_2.3.1-1_i386.deb dpkg : error package architecture (i386) does not match system (powerpc) So python byte-code is NOT cross architecture? Mike, would you be willing to post your source?
